Anthony Joshua says his goal is to get a fight against Tyson Fury in 2025. Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) wants to make the mega fight against the recently defeated former WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs). ) soon.

Fury, 36, has been in hiding since his unified champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, and is no doubt wondering what went wrong this time to get him beaten for a second time. It seemed like he had no more.

His performance, or lack thereof, showed why it is important to get the ‘Battle of Britain’ fight against Joshua done as soon as possible. Some believe Fury could announce his retirement, and are keeping an eye on ‘R’, waiting for a tearful speech from him.

Joshua needs to increase the pressure on Fury to encourage him and motivate him to stay because he may do something impulsive. He retired once, only to return.

“2025, my goal is Tyson Fury” said Antonio Josué to Sky Sports News.

AJ has more reason to retire than Fury because he was destroyed by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in his fifth-round knockout loss on September 21 in front of more than 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London. . That was a complete mismatch, as Joshua went down four times.

Joshua had never been knocked out like that before. You could see that Dubois was too strong, young and out of his league talent-wise. However, it would be the same if Dubois fought Fury. It might be even easier because his hit resistance is gone and he would have nothing that can stop Dubois for an instant.

“It makes me hungry, it makes me want to work harder. Time is of the essence; Time is limited, so I just want to work harder,” Joshua said of his loss to Daniel Dubois on September 21.

“When I look back, I think I could have done more in 2024. I have another opportunity in 2025 to do more and I will make sure I take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. “I should have won, but I didn’t and I’m going to do it again,” Joshua said.

Joshua should forget about Dubois permanently and focus entirely on fighting Fury twice before calling it a day. Getting back together with Daniel would be a bad idea.
